600 WW would be respectable. Although TASM came off a terrible SM3, the fan base is still there overseas which absolutely love Spidey. What MOS has over TASM is the anticipation, IMO. This movie seems a lot bigger and with all the rumors of this movie kick-starting a JLA movie, you just never know. With Snyder it's a wild card. Looks great, but at the end of the day we can't get our hopes up too much until some solid reviews come out.
My prediction would be 150-200 domestic and 350-400 overseas, and that's anything but modest for the overseas market.
ASM had to deal with one major major issue that doesn't seem to be present here. Seemingly retelling a story they told less than a decade prior, with cheaper unknown stars and an even cheaper unknown villain that when compared with the first villain came off as simply a monster movie archetype(never good for superhero movies).
MoS doesn't have that obstacle. No one watches man of steel's media and say's any of those two things above.
Some of you worry too much that MoS isnt gonna be this huge juggernaut ( or maybe its more hoping that it won't be by some here ).
MoS was never going to make a billion, or even 900 mill. most here know that. Reboots just don't make that kinda coin.
If it can do 600/700 mill ww, I guarantee you ( something that I never do ) that WB will be doing a happy dance.
Correction,
Reboots simply haven't made that kinda coin.
Each one with it's own reasoning for that.
For example bond movies simply don't make all that much money(till they changed the format enough to get the GA to think it was some sort of event).
-Ignoring my personal qualms with Begins(there are alot), it was made during a different time. Moreover it's producers weren't the stars they are today.
-StarTrek, even it's sequel isn't going to make all THAT much money, there is something else going on there beyond the reboot factor.
-Hulk, need I say more.
-First Class
-Superman Returns.........some people blame that films performance on it's reboot nature, I blame other things.
-Planet of the apes(both versions)
-I'm sure TMNT will be added to that list as well.
...the list goes on and on.
Let's take a look at these reboots now.
-Transformers 4.
It's got a bigger star, the same powerful director, big summer date.
-Star Wars 7
-The next batman....
Pretty sure all of those will make a billion.
Some films are destined to simply make more money than others. It's all about circumstance, in this day and age if a film doesn't have everything riding against it, and actually has some things going for it, then the GA will respond as it does any other film. MoS is hard to predict but I honestly don't see it in the same boat as some of those others if only for the clown that is Bryan Singer, I will admit that is a factor.
